Nikko had closed his eyes for only a moment but opened them upon request. He tried to laugh but instantly winced. "I'm sorry." he croaked. He was tired but he was willing to push through and take whatever Aubrey had for him. He probably deserved it. Who falls off their broom as a keeper? "I'm...
Nikko wasn't sure if he had ever been in this much pain before. He had taken more bludger hits than he could count over the years, even as a keeper he wasn't off limits. Today was proof of that. He had taken more than a few hits in their match against one of the Canadian teams until suddenly one...
Nikko kissed her again and chuckled reluctantly when she pointed out his plan. "Yeah. Now you see my elaborate plan." he admitted. "I don't know if I'd say confident." he joked. As sure as he felt about Aubrey and their future together there was still a whisper of doubt in the back of his mind...
Nikko kissed Aubrey and almost forgot what he was doing until she finally pulled away and asked about the ring. "Right!" he said quickly and opened the box so she could see it. He had been so nervous he had gotten down on one knee without ever opening it. He laughed as she held out her hand and...
For a moment Nikko felt so relieved he thought he might pass out, but instead he let out a nervous but excited laugh as Aubrey teased him. "Well I think asking is the whole point." he quipped back but realized she hadn't actually said yes. When she finally did, he didn't need to be told twice...
Nikko chuckled at her response had took her hands in his when she held them out to him. "They don't know what they're talking about." he said reassuringly as he pulled her close and placed a kiss on the top of her head. He smiled wistfully at her last comment. "How could I not be?" he asked...
Nikko was glad he didn't need to do more than ask for Aubrey to follow him. As much as he wanted to do this with their friends around he didn't want to do it in the middle of a party. He wanted a semblance of privacy and as they stepped outside he got what he asked for. The difference in volume...
Nikko was pretty sure the only reason he hadn't spiraled into a full panic attack was because of the two glasses of champagne he had nervously downed in the last hour. Having a few friends and teammates over for a small New Years Eve party was just the cover for what he was really planning. He...
Nikko chuckled as Aubrey rattled off the order without a second thought. How she was so sharp after a day of boxes and moving he didn't know and wasn't going to argue. He gave her a quick kiss. "Your wish is my command." he said jokingly. "I'll be back as soon as I can." he said as he backed...
Nikko was standing in the hallway full of boxes with his hands on his hips and dreading having to open all of them when Aubrey came to the rescue. He watched with a smile as she grabbed the box and opened it. He really should have thought about labeling his things better. "Chinese sounds...
Nikko smiled as Aubrey negotiated with him, not that there was much to negotiate. He would be happy to do whatever she wanted. But he had to admit going out for a whole meal was going to be a big ask by the end of the day. "That sounds perfect." he said softly. "I guess I go better find the...
Nikko leaned against the counter needing a moment of rest before he started to tackle the unpacking himself. "I guess not but I thought it might be a good way to spend our first night here." he shrugged. But she did have a point. Eating on an actual table sounded much better. His mind started to...
Nikko was staring at the empty room and wondering if he could convince any of his teammates to help him pick up a couch next week when he heard Aubrey from the ktichen. He shook out his arms and knew he'd be sore at practice tomorrow if he didn't sleep through his alarm. He grinned as he turned...
Nikko had been waiting for this day for a million different reasons. For one, he had quickly out grown the room he had been renting for the past year and a half. His land lady had been more that kind to offer him the space when he was just starting out. But he was getting the hang of this whole...
Nikko didn't usually have more than one day off in a row between practice and games, and having to travel for some games. But somehow he had ended up with a few days off and since Aubrey was busy he figure it was probably a good time to get away and maybe pick her up something special while he...
Nikko smiled sheepishly. He wasn't used to feeling sure about anything. As much as he loved quidditch, he still felt like he was earning his place. Even his family felt fragile as he balanced between muggle and magical life. But sitting with Aubrey felt right, and it felt right. He was glad to...
Nikko grinned. "Oh right of course." he said, playing along. He had never had a job like a bartender before. He had never had a real job before he got his spot on the Macaws. He had helped around at the inn growing up but they didn't have a bar and he had been too young to deal with alcohol...
Nikko gave Aubrey a soft look when she said she missed him took. It was nice to hear that he wasn't the only one who felt that way but he didn't like that she had had to spend her last year with that burden. And his guilt only grew when she continued. He shook his head when she said he might...
Nikko smiled at Aubrey's reassurance. "I think that sounds great." he said, relieved as she took the lead when it came to ordering. It felt like something he should do and he was failing, even if he knew she didn't care. He nodded when she said they didn't have to overthink this, and he laughed...
